Aon plc (AON) shares edged higher in Monday’s premarket trading after the company announced it was pumping up its Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program to a whopping $5 billion in capacity. The move comes as the world’s appetite for artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and massive data centers shows no signs of slowing down.

The broader market backdrop was positive, with S&P 500 futures gaining 0.4%.

Aon Expands Data Center Coverage

Aon increased the program’s capacity from $3.5 billion and broadened its risk solutions for larger and more complex digital infrastructure projects. The enhanced program offers up to $5 billion in coverage for construction, delay, property damage, and business interruption. It also includes up to $200 million in third-party liability coverage outside the U.S., $100 million within the U.S., $400 million in cyber and technology errors and omissions coverage, and $500 million in project cargo protection. Aon will also provide up to $1 billion in terrorism capacity through existing facilities.

The program now includes additional climate, environmental, security, engineering, and operational resilience services through Aon Global Risk Consulting. The company said these capabilities will support data center assets from development through long-term operations.

The expansion comes as investment in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and hyperscale data centers increases demand for broader insurance solutions.

AON Technical Outlook

Aon shares have gained 4.65% over the past 12 months and trade above the 20-day simple moving average of $344.32, signaling a bullish short-term trend. However, the 50-day SMA at $330.84 remains below the 200-day SMA at $336.41, indicating continued weakness in the longer-term trend. The MACD is above its signal line, suggesting that bearish momentum is easing. Further gains may depend on the stock maintaining its recent strength. Resistance stands at $381, the stock’s recent 52-week high. Support is near $336.41, which aligns with the 200-day SMA.
